Pretty cool to see what the track actualy looked like in its glory. Back in the day (early 80's) there was a bunch of us from the manville /somerville area that ran karts at Shellhammers. Whenever we had a new motor we wanted to break in we would go to Vineland. We used to use the old driveway and go back in a ways through the mud and trees with our trucks. We would unload do about 10 laps at 1/2 throttle, and then high tail it out of there before the cops would come. Back then the track was still in pretty good shape. Maybe a few weeds here and therecomming up through the cracks, but no fence or any buidings.
